Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 Is Enriched in Mammary Stem Cells and Promotes Mammary Development and Regeneration
Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is widely expressed in a variety of human tumors, and inhibition of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway represents one of the most promising therapy for many types of cancer. However, the physiological function of PD-L1 in tissue development is still unclear, although PD-L1...

Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is widely expressed in a variety of human tumors, and inhibition of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway represents one of the most promising therapy for many types of cancer.

To address this puzzle, we investigated the function of PD-L1 in mammary gland development.
